~ RETICULATED SILVER AND AMETHYST PENDANT ~

Being eco-conscious is important to my work and this pendant has been handcrafted using offcuts from my work, which have been melted down into one piece of silver, hand rolled and then reticulated to create amazing and unique crater-like patterns. Reticulation is the process of heating up the silver and cooling it again many times to bring the fine silver to the surface, which eventually starts to curl and flow under the heat. It is then quickly removed to leave the organic ripples behind. Set with a single Brazilian amethyst cabochon.

Measures: 1.6cm x 2.3cm
Materials: Sterling and fine silver, Brazilian amethyst, sterling silver chain
Finish: Oxidised, polished/shiny

Each piece of my jewellery is traditionally made by me using silversmithing tools and skills at my East London studio and are mostly one of a kind creations. I use precious metals, gemstones and beach finds in my work and apply different textures and finishes to vary my work as much as possible. I love to use organic shapes and influences and most sea glass or sea pottery pieces are used as they are without any additional cutting, sanding or tumbling. Gemstones are ethically sourced and I use every tiny bit of silver I purchase including any fragments, offcuts and silver dust.

All of my handmade jewellery pieces are presented in rustic, eco-friendly gift boxes and shipped in recycled eco-friendly packaging where possible.
